Not sure how all the stats are counted, but I think the massive glaring gap in Canada is dental care and pharmacare. If we publicly funded those 100%, and then looked at the comparison numbers, I'd be curious to see how the picture looked and how much more receptive people would be to adopting some of the more successful European models.
